I made this little collage (it’s in my 4.5”x4. I made this little collage (it’s in my 4.5”x4.5” art journal) on the most luscious handmade paper made by @kelseypikepapercraft If you want to try using handmade papers in you work, definitely check out her shop!
And now for something completely different! 😜 I And now for something completely different! 😜 I watched @faaaaaaaaaaaith on a @creativebug live *almost two years ago*!! And I *finally* got around to making this wrapped rope rainbow. I love it, but it’s not nearly as beautiful as the one Faith made... but I’m okay with that. I’m calling it “perfectly imperfect” and once I add the hanger, I’ll put it on my wall. I blogged all about it, including what I did wrong... or just differently (and why!) and the “messy back”. I also include links to the original class, so you can take it if you want to, too! (And I think you should... it was easy and so fun!!) 🌈 #linkinbio P.S. I definitely “overused” (and possibly “misused”)“quotes” in this “blog post”, but I thought it was so funny when I re-read/“edited” the post, I decided to leave them in! “😜”
Always thinking. Always thinking.
Another collage in my pink art journal. I’m havi Another collage in my pink art journal. I’m having so much fun with these, but I’m also craving some time with my paints! So stay tuned for that. In the meantime, have a lovely and creative weekend!
Wow! I just realized that I haven’t posted anyth Wow! I just realized that I haven’t posted anything for almost 3 weeks! It’s a surprise to me because I’m in here every day, liking your posts and watching your stories and reels and whatever else IG is calling videos these days. 😆 I guess I just forgot to post my own stuff?! 🤭🤪 But I’m still here! I promise! I’ve been art journaling, collaging, even trying my hand at weaving! (I love it, but I’m not quite good at it ... yet!) I also organized my art space. I don’t have a separate studio, so my home office and art stuff are all tucked into a space between my living room and dining room. Well, let’s be real, when I reorganized, my dining room became more of an art space, too! Anywayyyyy... one of my 2021 goals is to buy a house that either has a dedicated space for me, or to buy a house close to a studio/office space I can walk to every day! What are some of your goals for 2021?
More collage fun while I watch reruns of 30 Rock. More collage fun while I watch reruns of 30 Rock. I hope you’re having a creative and laughter-filled week, too!
How do you collage? Do you cut just what you need, How do you collage? Do you cut just what you need, or do you cut piles and piles and piles of images and then put them together? (Can you tell I do the latter?! 🤣) I am, however, excited to keep the spreads in this soft pink journal (mostly) pink! It’s fun to work with creative limitations like that. 👍🧑‍🎨🎨
There’s nothing like starting a brand new art jo There’s nothing like starting a brand new art journal! Especially when it’s pink!! 💕💕💕
